Bryan said: "Most of my paintings are of Sheffield as part of a project I'm doing. Every time I paint something I always get discussions given how much Sheffielders love Sheffield and people have always been saying that I should do the football grounds.

"I said I would but I said if I was going to do them, I wanted to do both at the same time."

Bryan, 37, said he'd always had an interest in art but only started selling his work around two years ago.

He said: "It all came about by accident really. I was walking back to the station in York and noticed the sunset on the river and I took a picture of it. As soon as I altered the contrast all these colours came up.

"I always go out about an hour before sunset and take a picture of what I'm going to paint because the colours in the sky are amazing - I did the same with the football grounds."
